| Can you tell me what happened? | |
| I picked up Mr. Gary Hayes coming down to the Capitol. | |
| It's a nice day. | |
| He open carries his black powder pistol. | |
| What is that, Chris? | |
| It's a pre-1899 replica. | |
| Okay. | |
| And he was rolling around the Capitol, talking to the security guards and the troopers about an incident that | |
| happened earlier today. | |
| And Trooper...what was his name? | |
| Cruz? | |
| Yes. | |
| Trooper Cruz decided that he was going to become alarmed at Mr. Hayes' open-carried pistol because he could see it. | |
| It was being displayed. | |
| So he asked Mr. Hayes if he could please take it back to his vehicle so that Officer Cruz would not remain alarmed, and Gary said, no thank you. | |
| So at that point, Officer Hayes told him that if he's not going to comply, he's going to be under arrest for disorderly conduct. | |
| And so, how long did it take for them to officially arrest him? | |
| He had a conversation with First Security Guard Johnson. | |
| And then a State Highway Patrol Bike Officer, Pena. | |
| Those each were about 15-20 minute encounters each. | |
| And then I had a conversation with Cruz for a good 20 minutes before he was placed under arrest. | |
| So it was a good block? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Alright, so they placed him under arrest. | |
| I noticed we have some EMSA trucks, some emergency trucks out here. | |
| Was there any type of confrontation or why are those out? | |
| No, Mr. Hayes is a disabled vet. | |
| He is paralyzed. | |
| He requires that wheelchair to move. | |
| Not just, he can't walk well. | |
| He cannot walk at all and he takes several medications. | |
| So they called the EMS to come out and check him over and make sure that he got handled in a proper manner while they kidnapped him. | |
| So, do you guys have any plans of bailing him out or what's going to happen now? | |
| We are under orders to not bail him out. | |
| So this should be an interesting next few days. | |
| He is a member of the National Association for Legal Gun Defense or something like that. | |
| I'm sure they'll be contacted. | |
| And there are apparently 62 people viewing our particular live stream. | |
| Awesome! | |
| Great! | |
| Tell everybody hi! | |
| Hi everybody! | |
| I gotta give thanks to Mike Cargill who called me and tipped me off to this thing going on at Texas Gun Works. | |
| So thanks Mike, and I was actually out here when they arrested one of the guys earlier. | |
| I believe there was somebody that got arrested even before I got here earlier this morning. | |
| A gentleman, he was a pastor. | |
| Terry Hulk? | |
| Yes, Terry Hulk. | |
| And they arrested him, I was here to witness that and the troopers behavior at that particular incident. | |
| Well thank you very much for being here. | |
| Thank you. |
